I know I have seen mention of this somewhere on R2R, but to save time searching, #reefsquad assemble!!!

Seriously though, I am sure someone on #reefsquad knows what this is like maybe @KJ Or @Crabs McJones or someone.

My eyes are not the best. Looks like green hair algae. How are you fixed for CuC?

A Simple Guide To Common Problematic Algae And The Means To Control It..

As we all know algae is inevitable in both Marine and fresh water aquariums and if not watched and without proper procedures for removal can quickly turn a beautiful aquarium in to something that resembles a scene out of a old Swamp thing episode. Some are easy to control some are a non stop...

It looks like GHA to me. and youre correct in your video the algae is consuming it before you can test for it.

Thanks for the quick reply! I thought it was GHA but lights pit didn't seem to do anything. My CuC is definitely lacking right now. 2 snails and a hermit crab.

Thanks for the quick reply... ugh I guess it better than having Dinos... ok so far votes are for GHA... I need to beef up my CuC, I am only feeding once per day, in the evening and maybe get some GFO going. I'll keep scrubbing the rest of the rocks as well.

Thanks to all for the zippy-quick replies!
